Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Energy Recovery's second quarter 2025 earnings call. During today's call, Energy Recovery may make projections and other forward-looking statements under the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events or the future financial performance of the company. These statements may discuss our business, economic and market outlook, growth expectations, new products and their performance, cost structure and business strategy. Forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the company and on management's beliefs, assumptions, estimates and projections. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors. We refer you to documents the company files from time to time with the SEC, specifically the company's annual Form 10-K and quarterly Form 10-Q. These documents identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements. All statements made during this call are made only as of today, August 6, 2025, and the company expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements made during this call to reflect subsequent events or circumstances unless otherwise required by law. Our hosts for today's call are David Moon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Recovery, and Mike Mancini, Chief Financial Officer. I would now like to turn the call over to Mr. Moon.
Thank you, Operator, and good afternoon, everyone. Earlier today, we released a letter to shareholders on the investor relations section of our website that reviews business and financial performance during the quarter. Prior to opening the line for questions and answers, I'd like to highlight a few important takeaways from that letter. First, we are reiterating our 2025 guidance on all metrics and reinstating our wastewater guidance. Our core desalination business is proving resilient to the macro environment. We signed multiple large deals in the period, and we have line of sight to four-year revenue based on our contracts and pipeline. In wastewater, the tariff impacts are expected to be better than we initially indicated in Q1, and we are comfortable issuing guidance despite remaining tariff uncertainty. Second, today we announced an additional share repurchase program. In the past 10 months, we've announced three share repurchase authorizations totaling $105 million. We believe these programs will enable us to repurchase over 10% of our outstanding shares in aggregate while still executing our playbook and reinvesting for growth. And lastly, our conviction in the long-term trends driving our business is increasing. Contracted desalination capacity, water reuse capacity, and CO2 refrigeration installations are all growing at high rates. We are poised to capture the upside of these trends as we march towards our 2029 goals. I'd also like to say thank you to our employees here at Energy Recovery. The team was creative and decisive this quarter in executing during an environment of high volatility. With that, we will now move to the question and answer portion of our conference call. Operator, please open the line for questions.
